Accessibility
 

The museum is located in a heritage building, which regrettably does not have an elevator or wheelchair access. There are 4 steps outside to the front door of the building, and 2.5 flights of stairs inside up to the museum.

 

Museum restrooms are also not wheelchair accessible. Those with mobility concerns should call the museum at 604.665.3346 or email us at info@vancouverpolicemuseum.ca
